Captain Tom Moore has recorded a video message for a fellow centenarian who is raising money for the NHS with a walking challenge.

Former nurse Joan Rich, 101, has vowed to walk 102 laps of her local park in Felixstowe, Suffolk, before her next birthday in September. So far she has raised 拢7,500.

War veteran Mr Moore captured the hearts of people worldwide when he walked 100 laps of his Bedfordshire garden during the coronavirus pandemic. In total he raised almost 拢33m for the health service.

Via video message, he told Mrs Rich: "Good luck. Sending my very best wishes to you and one piece of advice - tomorrow is a good day."

Mrs Rich, who also worked for the military police, thanked him for the message.

Daughter Diane Rich said: "Joan wants to give more than she's already given and walking round the park is what we do, so, walking round the park, let's give it more of a purpose."
